It can be a very useful ploy if not over-played.

What was the question again?
On a serious note, how have you been doing? I climbed a bit with you at JTree last winter and you had some serious stuff going down and I have been wondering how you are doing. You seem to be doing pretty good so I'll take it your doing ok, at least not slowing down much.

Didn't Steve Martin do a routine on that? (As if any of us can remember), e.g., "Why didn't you pay your income taxes?" "I forgot."
Whenever we're leaving on a trip, my wife always asks "What are we forgetting?" without any concern for the incongruity of the question.

It's always been such a mystery...how you can *know* you once knew something, but you don't know it anymore!

Sometimes forgetting can be a good thing.
"It's easy sometimes when you just coast along
But like it or not something always seems to go wrong
Sometimes people build you up just so they can knock you down
Sometimes they will have you there 'cause they need someone around
Perhaps you'll receive invitations for tea
or perhaps you will laugh and you will make them all smile
Or maybe you'll join them 'cause it had to be
**Perhaps you'll forget you forgot for a while
**
Birds of a feather are flocking outside
like whippets they dance in a curly-queue dance
of pulses and ringing and campfire chants
of ritual drumming although at first glance
you thought you could run but you won't take a chance
it's not an experience if they can't bring someone along
they hang on emotions they bottle inside
they peck at the ground
and they strut out of stride
